Be it known that L-Nanson I. PERRY, a

citizen of the United States, residin at Chicago, in the county of Cook and tate of Illmois, have invented'certain new and useful Improvements in Laundry Machines,

.of which the following is a specification.-

' The invention relates to improvements in and also for drying the clothesl An tier object-is to provide anincomplex,

inexpensive construction which is eficienti tion. Another object is to 'provide a machine which may be operated by hand 'or by power.

Another object is to provides machine having a rotatable clothes holding member and in which machine the water is prevented from partaking of a rotary motion. I

Other objects, advantages and benefits will hereinafter appear from a consideration of the following Fig. 1. is a central, transverse section of;
